W12 TAYtalks LIVE! Innovation Education

This LIVE! TAYtalks presentation will discuss the current status and future of innovation and transformation at the NRC in a talk show format. The session will directly engage the attendees to discuss topics such as agency, industry and other government innovation initiatives, advancements in technology, hiring/retention, and other topics.

In typical TAYtalks fashion, the session will be unscripted, but a few key topics will be selected ahead of time. The session will promote openness and clarity with regards to innovation at the agency and externally, while being a lively conversation.

Attendees will gain a better understanding of the current status of innovation and transformation at the NRC and the industry, the barriers we face, and what the future holds.
